Independent retailer Green Man Gaming has been named as headline sponsor at this year’s Golden Joystick Awards.

This year’s event – which is the 31st, incidentally, and will hand out 15 awards – takes place on October 25th at London’s Westminster Park Plaza.

"It is a privilege for Green Man Gaming to be headline sponsor of the Golden Joysticks 2013,” GMG founder and CEO Paul Sulyok stated.

“Thanks to the hard work of the GMG team, the faith of our partners and the amazing GMG gaming community in just over three years we have grown to be lead sponsor of one of the most prestigious events in the games calendar.

“We are delighted to be part of an event that celebrates and rewards the enormous amount of talent, creativity and hard work in the games industry.”

Future’s film and games deput MD Clair Porteous added: “We’re delighted to have Green Man Gaming on board. We’ve completely revamped the categories this year to make them more relevant to gamers around the world, and Green Man Gaming’s global presence really reflects the ethos of the awards themselves. This year’s ceremony looks to be the most exciting yet.”
